Conservative activist Wayne Allyn Root
said Friday that divorce attorneys were the real winners in the
Supreme Court's ruling declaring state bans on gay marriage
unconstitutional.
Appearing on Joyce Kaufman's radio
show, Root predicted that “gays will never stay married.”
“Marriage is the most difficult thing
in the world,” he
said. “I’m talking to you as someone who has been married 24
years. Marriage is so difficult that if you do not go to church
every Sunday and your whole life isn’t built on a bedrock faith in
God and you don’t have kids and your whole life isn’t built
around those kids and none of that’s in place and you’re married,
the odds of you staying married are close to zero.”
“Divorces will now triple. Gays will
never stay married. They just bought themselves the biggest bunch of
unhappiness and legal bills that they could ever imagine.”
He added that it was a “good day for
the Republican Party,” because the ruling “hands us the election”
since the issue will vanish.
